subway
My friend spent 15 minutes to teaching me how to order a sandwich in the subway at Subway. Because of my poor listening, I always could onlyunderstand what the attendant said if he spoke quickly slowly, so I always pointed to the pictures to select food. But now, I have studied how to say different sandwiches, vegetables and sauces. I will try again next time.
I fully understood what you wrote. After the verb 'spend' we use the -ing form of a verb, not the to + infinitive.
Subway is a proper noun, so it has a capital S.
I also changed your adverb, as in my experience it's easier to understand someone when they are talking slowly, not quickly, but that's just me!
Good job, as I said, the errors did not result in any misunderstanding.

Because of my poor listening skills, I always never could understand what the attendant said if he or she spoke quickly, and so I always pointed to the pictures to make my selections food. But now, I have studied how to say pronounce the names of different sandwiches, vegetables and sauces. I will try again next time.subway

Great job! I understood everything that you were trying to say :) It seems like the only major mistake you made is using "always" instead of "only." It's always if you do this every time at Subway but is not appropriate here because you are only talking about one time. Still, it didn't hurt my understanding of what you meant. Keep up the good work!
